Nine Yards Chardonnay Chardonnay 2022, Jordan

Jordan Nine Yards Chardonnay 2022 is the ultimate expression of Jordan terroir. The Nine Yards Chardonnay is made is in a reserve style, from barrel selection from Jordan’s best vineyard site. Stylistically different to their Jordan Chardonnay, with this wine they went “The whole nine yards”!  A style characterised by refreshing linear acidity and mouth filling fruit textures. The 2022 displays classic Nine Yards flavours with lime citrus and fragrant oak spice.

Crushed and pressed immediately after de-stemming, the juice was barrel-fermented in traditional 228-litre French oak barrels (77% new and 23% second) from selected Burgundian cooperages (Damy, Chassin, and Rousseau). The barrels were inoculated with a selection of French yeast. A percentage of the wine went through natural fermentation. The wine was matured “sur lie” for 9 months, with regular barrel-rolling to accentuate the rich, leesy character.

Food pairing: Poached veal with béarnaise sauce or butternut ravioli with mushroom sauce and truffle oil.

Alcohol: 13% ABV

    string(513) "Possibly the most famous grape variety in the world, Chardonnay has found a home in pretty much every corner of the wine world. From crisp, flinty Chablis styles to full-bodied, oaky, rich Napa Valley Chardonnay it is a variety which has the ability to morph according to the climate or winemaking philosophy. It also has the capacity to produce amongst the greatest white wines in the world. Some praise indeed for this chameleon variety, the likes of which may only truly be matched by Riesling or Chenin Blanc."
